Catamaran Topaz 16 Fast, stable Topper catamaran

After exhaustive research and extensive testing, this new design by Olympic catamaran champions Yves Loday and Robert White represents a real revolution in the sector. The Cat 16 is extremely versatile. The boat is fast, yet it can be handled by sailors with little experience. It is very stable and well balanced. Rigging the boat is quick and easy. The exclusive design of its hulls lets it meet the waves very smoothly, even when they are big. In strong winds, the mainsail can be reefed and the jib furled in a matter of seconds. The mainsail and jib controls and leads have been designed so that light crews can use them in strong winds. The rudder system has been tested in all conditions and is very light to the touch and responsive. On top of all these sailing qualities, its construction using Topper’s unique Trilam polyethylene system makes it virtually indestructible, which guarantees a long life for schools. The Topaz 16 comes in two versions: the Topaz 16, with a Dacron mainsail and jib and a single trapeze, and the Topaz 16X, which adds a 13.56 m² gennaker and a twin trapeze.
